ALCOHOLIC FOAMY DEGENERATION, AN ENTITY RESEMBLING ALCOHOL-ASSOCIATED HEPATITIS: DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS AND MOLECULAR PROFILING.

Differential diagnosis is important because prognosis and treatment differ largely. Triglyceride levels successfully identify most patients with AFD and may be helpful in decision-making.

Liver Stiffness Measurement and Risk Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After HCV Eradication in Veterans with Cirrhosis.

LSM predicts rates of HCC in patients with HCV cirrhosis after SVR at multiple cutoff levels and offers a single test to predict portal hypertension-related complications and HCC. Patients with LSM <5 kPa in the absence of diabetes mellitus had a low risk of HCC where surveillance could be discontinued.

Galectin-7 induction by EHMT2 inhibition enhances immunity in MSS colorectal cancer.

Galectin-7 administration enhanced anti-PD1 efficacy in MSS CRC, serving as a potent adjunct cytokine therapy. Our findings suggest that targeting the EHMT2/galectin-7 axis could provide a novel combination strategy for immunotherapy in MSS CRC.

Assessing the impact of center volume on the cost-effectiveness of centralizing ERCP.

The study's main findings remained unchanged while combining al model parameters in the PSA. Our findings show that HV centers have high-performance rates at lower costs, raising the need to consider the principle of centralization of ERCPs into HV centers to improve the quality of care.

Braided-type stent versus laser-cut-type stent for patients with unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction: a randomized controlled trial.

The median overall survival (L: 158 days, B: 204 days) after stenting was not significantly different between the groups (p=0.8544). In the setting of DMBO, braided (B)-type stents are associated with less recurrent obstruction than laser-cut-type (L) stents, although there was no difference in safety.

Deep learning based lesions detection and severity grading of small bowel Crohn's disease ulcers on double-balloon endoscopy images.

The EfficientNet-b5 achieved high accuracy in detecting CD lesions and grading CD ulcers. The AI model can provide expert-level accuracy and objective evaluation of small bowel CD to optimize the clinical treatment plans.

Hood attached vs conventional triangular tip-jet knife in peroral endoscopic myotomy: a propensity score matching cohort study.

The mean myotomy efficiency was improved from 2.76 to 2.32 min/cm (16% improvement, P = <0.001), and usage of coagulation forceps for hemostasis was decreased from 3.87 to 0.55 (86% reduction, P = <0.001). This study showed that use of TTJ-H could reduce total procedure time, improve myotomy efficiency, and reduce costs compared to TTJ.

NIS2+TM as a screening tool to optimize patient selection in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis clinical trials.

While the use of FIB-4 alone did not lead to a significant improvement of the screening process, selecting patients using NIS2+ ™, a recently developed optimization of the NIS4® technology for the detection of at-risk MASH, showed improved performances by simultaneously reducing LBFRs and the overall cost of the trial, keeping a manageable number of patients needed to screen, without generating any bias in included patients' characteristics. This makes NIS2+ ™ an accurate and reliable screening tool for improving the recruitment of patients in future MASH clinical trials, and would lead to increased patient comfort and security, ensuring timely and cost-efficient completion of those trials.

Esophageal Motility Abnormalities in Lung Transplant Recipients With Esophageal Acid Reflux Are Different From Matched Controls.

The strongest correlation with AET after LT was found to be esophageal peristaltic vigor. These results add to the understanding of reflux after LT and may help tailor an individualized treatment plan.

Gastrointest Endosc

Analyzing methods for reducing recurrence rates after endoscopic mucosal resection of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps: An Indirect pairwise comparison.

EMR+ STSC seems to provide favorable odds for reducing polyp recurrence post-resection for large non-pedunculated polyps. Standardization of methods to detect residual polyp and prevent polyp recurrence at the time of EMR are required.
